We’re introducing “The 1-4-0”, our brand new movie review summary that will begin with 140 characters or less that you can be able to copy/paste onto your Twitter account. Enjoy!
The “1-4-0”: âFast & Furious 6â is as action packed a film you can see all year. If you had to pick 1, this will more than satisfy your adrenaline rush.
The Gist: Vin Diesel and The Rock reassemble their crew in order to take down a mastermind who commands an organization of mercenary drivers across 12 countries. Payment? Full pardons for them all.
The Highlights: There were a lot of highlights here. The unrestrained action sequences, Michelle Rodriguezâs return, plus her 2 all-out battles with MMA fighter Gina Carano (Haywire), Tyreseâs hilarious performance, The Rockâs climactic clash with a Brock Lesnar looking dude towards the end of the movie. But perhaps the top highlight of the film was the post credit hidden scene that sees a co-star die and a familiar action star face bring the house down in his jaw-dropping appearance.Â
The Lowlights: Vinâs acting continues to reach record lows. How heâs made it this far is beyond me, but his subtle, sly, sexy charisma goes a long way. The dialogue is once again mechanical, and the delivery by the cast is worse than ever. Â
Hate, like or love it? Love it. As bad as the acting and the dialogue are, the adrenaline-pumping entertainment value overwhelms any defect the film possesses. You up the ante with the addition from the best actions faces in the business – The Rock, Michelle Rodriguez, Gina Carano and the surprise guest at the end – and itâs an obligated repeat viewing experience. Also, I really enjoyed the Latino vibe they brought back from âFast  & Furiousâ, the Spanish dialogue and actors like Elsa Pataky. It all worked perfectly.
